Public Notice: The College will be closed this Friday (8/30/13) except for several classes and essential services so the employees can come together for an all college in-service day. This in-service day is being held in response to an informal suggestion made by the Accrediting Commission for Colleges and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) that Victor Valley College hold an annual in-service day to focus on things that can be done to assure student success and meet accreditation standards. The convocation will be held primarily in the Performing Arts Center with some breakout sessions held in the Student Activates Center. This Convocation is designed to facilitate dialog among faculty and staff on continuous quality improvement and educational effectiveness. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss the results of program review and learning outcome assessments and then utilize these results to improve the institution along with student success. The Convocation will begin with a “State of the College” address. This will be followed in the morning with several breakout sessions including the opportunity to discuss progress made toward meeting the recommendations set forth by the Accrediting Commission for Colleges and Junior Colleges (ACCJC). Other breakout sessions will focus on review processes and implementation of the findings. The College staff will have the opportunity as Vice President of Instruction Peter Maphumulo said in a letter to staff, “to come together and continue the valiant effort of getting ourselves out of probation. I therefore, urge you to come in large numbers so that we can clearly attest that we merit confidence to ourselves, the communities we serve and the ACCJC. There are many ways of looking at accreditation, but the most empowering alternative view is to regard accreditation as a process of shining light on our distinction, integrity, and quality of our efforts.“
